Arizona Flower. Nikon 8700. 22.3 mm. ISO 100. 1/120 sec at f/5. Copyright © Joanne Mason 2011.
I do not know the name of this fiery yellow and red flower from central Arizona. I found large quantities of them near Scottsdale. The flowers are quite striking and dramatic and attracted large numbers of honeybees. If anyone knows what kind of flowers these are, please let me know or post the name of the flower and whatever you know about them. Thanks.
this beautiful flower comes from the Mexican Bird of Paradise plant. :]
